During my September 2026 visit to Taos and northern New Mexico, I was drawn to the interplay of sweeping landscapes, enduring Native American culture, and sun-soaked adobe architecture. In this collection of photographs, I strive to capture glimpses of the expansive sky, the ubiquitous earthen walls, and the shifting patterns of light and shadow. I was captivated by the pueblos with their adobe walls rising from the ground and their warm tones echoing the surrounding land. Billowing clouds and vast blue skies, historic architecture, and vivid accents of color became studies in texture, geometry, and atmosphere. These images offer a personal glimpse into my enchantment with a place where ancient traditions and contemporary life coexist. Through this exhibition, I invite viewers to share the sense of wonder that drew me to northern New Mexico and to look closely at the details that made my journey memorable.

About the artist

My fascination with photography began as a teenager, when I set up a basement darkroom with my cousin. For several decades, I put my camera aside as my wife and I raised our three children, and I pursued a demanding career as a physician-scientist. During the isolation of the COVID pandemic, I returned to photography as a hobby and rediscovered the fascination that began in that basement darkroom, long before my medical career.

All photographs, created in September, 2026, are 16x20 inches framed to 20x24 inches, and available for $175. For inquiries or to purchase a photograph, email the Newton Camera Club print show team.
